Fresh mango is the edible fruit of the Mangifera indica tree, known for its sweet, juicy, and aromatic flavor. This tropical fruit, with its intense yellow pulp and soft texture, is highly valued in cooking for its versatility: it can be eaten raw, in juices, salads, desserts, and sauces.
Mango is native to South Asia, specifically India and Burma, but today it is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions of Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, and other parts of the world.
Among its properties, it stands out for its high content of vitamin C, vitamin A, and natural antioxidants that help strengthen the immune system and improve skin health. Furthermore, it is a good source of dietary fiber, which aids digestion.
In the Spanish spoken in Hispanic America, fresh mango may also be known simply as mango, without significant name variations, although in some places the term "green mango" is used for the unripe fruit, which is used in savory preparations or pickles.
